Literally. See, people can go without gasoline. Lots of indigenous folk do not drive cars and rely on welfare for their food and shit. However, you start fucking with the price of natty, then you will see outright revolt amongst the poor kind.
Natty is used to heat homes. It is used to generate electricity. If it keeps going up, it will rape this country of all discretionary income.
I know a few independent natural gas drillers. “The Fly” has quite a few “Nat Vegas” players on his client roster. They (the drillers) know the spike in price is bullshit. Some of the bigger dogs were capping their wells, a few years ago, due to lack of demand. Now, all of a sudden, natty is printing $11.50?
What the fuck?
I will not fight this trend. It is beyond control. The spike in commodities is pervasive. It is infecting everything and it is too powerful to bet against.
With oil and natty up at these levels, you’d have to be fucking nuts not own energy stocks.
Currently, I own [[ARD]], [[NGAS]], [[RIG]], [[OMNI]], [[IOC]] and [[NOV]].
My watch list includes:
[[GLBL]], [[WFT]], [[TRGL]], [[FPP]], [[FTK]], [[FTI]], [[EGY]], [[MIND]], [[CLHB]], [[HP]], [[RRC]] and ETF’s [[GAZ]] and [[UGA]].NOTE: The yen is trouncing the dollar. Watch [[FXY]].

That was a great call in NGAS & NOV by the way.
The Fly is back (not that he ever left)
Does this mean DUG is dead?
-DT
Kill? Going into winter maybe, but kill now? Why Fly?
Dug is dead….left only for the quickest traders.
The oil spike that is affecting gasoline will also kill people that rely on heating oil.
I remember a winter in Boston when our 3-bed half of a two-family home used a full tank of oil (about 260 gallons) in a month. The place was only about 1200 sq. ft.
The people who lived in my area can’t afford to pay $1000+/month for heat.
Wait until the hurricanes hit, $20 Natty, $200 Oil
What this means is; short the consumer via retail, their home, their financial institutions & go long the tool of their demise, soaring energy/commodities
Eventually this deadly toxin will kill the entire market & the global expansion will get derailed for a bit.
electricity.
Fuck Natty
Fuck Crude
The demand destruction taking place will crater both.
A spike in the US$ is a joke

Driving through the Imperial Valley (elevation 10ft, temperature 110F) in Southern Cal, you can see numerous new housing developments without a single solar water heater on the roof. They are burning natural gas instead. Crazy.
The payback on solar hot water in that area is probably about 3-4 years if it is built-in at the time of construction, and you get to finance it as part of the mortgage. Nice. Savings are in after-tax dollars. Interest on the added cost of the system is paid in pre-tax dollars.
Meanwhile, the State of California is (or was, assuming future drastic budget cuts) spending hundreds of millions of dollars to subsidize photovoltaic panels that have a payback period of 20 years to never when installed on a residence.
XOM broke beneath the 50 and 200 today…see if it holds…
what about NGS?

What are you talking about?
You short USO or something? What have I been telling you people for the past year and a half I’ve been posting on this blog?
Fly, keep MCF on you watch list as well.
UNG is the best way to go. That’s how I’m playing it. LNG will level out the playing field across the world.
This is the weakest selloff ever, SKF pathetic and LEH up nicely. Consdireing dumping my SKF, anybody else holding?
Yes, WTF is with LEH?
You guys are retarded. LEH is down 6 straight points and you are worried about a .50 spike.
Fly, any opinion on EP?
Fly we expect your picks to go straight up or down with no interuptions.
And yes we are retarded hence why we rely on your picks, close this blog and VIX goes to 40.
NOV is the place to be. i bet it becomes fly stock of the year. crude is going to spike until it’s/we’re dead. nat gas going to stay high. chk, apa, apc salivating. we’re going to skip straight to electric vehicles over the next 20yrs, and that means nat gas.
as always,
fuck POT.
Shed,
DVN is better.
@Crude – not short USO
waiting for a blowoff day to short -Elevator down when the fast money rotates out.
Thanks Crude.
When you gonna start posting in the PG?
Not worried, but the “Zombie Levitation” in LEH is highly unnatural, if you asked me…
I am limited with work. However, on days like this I like getting involved obviously because this is what I like to watch day in and day out.
I may start getting into it (peanut gallery). It would be fun to have a little contest to see who can call a top in the price of crude oil.
If my numbers are correct, $138ish is where refiners cannot support to buy crude if the local gasoline cracks in all the pads start to compress on this trend. They will cut runs substantially causing an “elevator down” in price. However, I’m not calling that, yet. I know better to jump in front of a freight train.
Maybe the winner can get a package of finely ground bear meat from the best meat joint here in Houston, Pete’s Fine Meats. http://www.petesfinemeats.net/
Make Believe Gasoline Prices
This morning Shell Regular at 9am: 3.59
This afternoon, same station, at 2:30pm: 3.69
We are all fucked.
Crude, sounds like a great idea.
FLY! Yo, McFly! Can we run another contest!???
@ crude – The peace dividend from anticipation of pullout from Iraq should crater crude price.
Crude,
I just drooled on my keyboard over that pic.
Love the idea, maybe in th PG.
Yeah, another contest! Oil to a zillion. Oh wait, I gotta drive 2,000+ miles in a couple weeks. Somebody do something. I’m doomed.
Nat Gas will keep running.
Solar power is years and years away.
The thought this country can run on wind power is absurd. Granted there is what people are calling a “wind corridor†across the Midwest but how are they going to get the power generated by that wind to the east coast and Cal. where everyone actually lives?
Ethanol is done.
Crude is ungodly expensive so all we are left with is Nat Gas which is cheap and we have a ton of in this country. I am long UNG, APA and CHK.
Doesn’t anyone here know about BZP? check it out. Ecuadorian oil is the shiz-nit.
